K: Return of Kings - Opening Fight Scene

[@crazedmonk8u]

K Project was really ahead of its time when it comes to battle animations. Going back and watching this scene still leaves me in awe with just how damn smooth it is. And the music fits perfectely.

I know right like, “Ok guys, we gotta meet the reds on that landing pad in an hour so make sure your uniforms are on right and don’t forget your knifes Saruhiko and remember not to have a bra on Sari cause people like it better that way despite how bad tactfully it would be to not have one on.” “What about the captain?” “Oh he’s just gonna jump out of a helicopter and land on the pad like a badass and stuff, you know to look cooler in front of the red team.” “Makes sense. Last Saturday, he had stage lights focused on him as he walked in with his power activated and fire works going off in the background.”

8 years and K was still ahead of its time. This is one of the best openings iv ever seen in an Anime. From the gorgeous art work to the incredible music.

[@wyvernnemecek595]

Every time I watch K, it never truly feels like HOMRA and Scepter 4 are ever really at odds with each other. Yeah, they’re working against each other yet it mostly comes down to methodology. Case and point, they’re patiently waiting for Reisi to show up, and despite the back and forth banter, none of them ever seem truly intent on killing each other despite every chance to. I know that’s kinda the point, but when you apply that to the show itself, you start to see it more and more. Homra and Scepter 4 aren’t enemies, their methods simply clash. When hunting down Shiro, Scepter 4 wants to bring him into custody, Homra wants him to be burned on the spot. Throughout that conflict, we see them fight yet it’s never malicious against each other, merely an understanding that they can’t be allowed to go unchecked without causing even worse problems. Mikoto proved that when he willingly accepted the sword through his chest after zeroing Shiro-he had a goal he aimed to complete, once it was done, he let Reisi solve the incoming conundrum because he had total faith in his fellow king. It’s not even like Homra were hunting Reisi, either! They all understood that it was assisted suicide because Mikoto’s Sword of Damocles was about to cause massive problems for everyone, and they accepted it. They’d been hunting Shiro because, far as they could tell, he killed Tatara in cold blood. While I’m definitely treading water, it’s simply a detail I love about K more than its animation (which is altogether ahead of its time): the factions never feel malicious towards each other, merely operating under different methods, which pushes everyone to try and understand the other clans’ mentality so as to help without hurting anyone else. Homra’s kept in check by Scepter 4, not because they *need* to be, but simply because their methods are wildly emotional and a lil delaying the inevitable never hurts when it comes to getting a read on what the fuck’s happening. When Shiro realized how bad things were getting, being clued in on how much this meant to everyone, he understood and took the L with full knowledge that it’d work out because he understood his fellow kings and the clans thereof. Tis beautiful, no?

I really wish they gave the side characters more screen time and more of a story, they look so interesting!
